Just getting some tools together to do watch repairs, just wondering how much will i need a jewel press, i have been offered a nice set up swiss but dont know how much i will use one, any help and advice ,
A good staking set is a useful tool to have in a workshop. A jewel press is expensive and will get limited use. A staking outfit is a more general tool that will enable the fitting of jewels and many other bench duties. It may require additional tool skills, but will save £££££££££'s on unnecessary tool purchases. Hope this helps.
If you run into a rub-in jewel, the jewel will rub into your nerves.
A good staking set is a far wiser investment. I have neither, I press jewels home with piece of wood.
